4 Report of Principal and School Improvement Council The school year was one of growth and opportunity for Myrtle Beach Intermediate School. Our theme for the year was "We re All In This Together." In making our theme a reality we used the musical soundtrack for "We re All In This Together" as part of our daily Brain Break activity. Brain Breaks are periods during the school day when students and staff gather in hallways to engage in physical activities set to music. Brain Breaks helped us meet increasing state standards for physical activity and created opportunities for us to come together and enhance interpersonal bonds that supported positive relationships. Positive relationships in turn supported our efforts to encourage our students growth toward becoming good citizens, approaching everything and everyone with respect and responsibility; good students, focused on learning and growing; and ladies and gentlemen, approaching everything and everyone with kindness and care. This year our staff, students, parents, and other community members enjoyed several special experiences. In December, MBI held its first Musical Dinner Theater with our students performing "It s a Dickens of a Christmas." In March, our librarian made arrangements for MBI to host the Gilder Lehrman Institute for American History Exhibit titled "Freedom: A History of the United States." In the spring our PTO sponsored an International Night during which families shared foods, costumes, and music representative of their heritage. Additionally, we celebrated Red Ribbon Week, held a Young Inventors Night, a spring musical theater production of "The Best Little Theater in Town," and we offered after-school Art and Science clubs. As a cumulative Social Studies activity, our fifth grade classes traveled to Washington, D.C. MBI received the Writing Network s Exemplary Writing Award and also received recognition for meeting Adequate Yearly Progress objectives for all of our sub groups. MBI was also a recipient of the 2006 State Silver Report Card Award. During the school year Mrs. Dyneen Kenley received National Board Certification, Mrs. Brenda Madden was named MBI s Teacher of the Year and Mrs. Patricia Pierce was one of the top three finalists for the Presidential Award for Excellence in Teaching Science.
